IOS5 Has Restored Photo Sorting by Filename?

In my testing (both Jpeg and Png formats), it 'appears' that Apple has restored sorting images by filename in iOS5. If true, that means that the nightmare of altering EXIF dates to achieve user controlled sort sequencing for images on iPhone and iPad is finally over and done with. I have more testing to do, but based on what I've seen so far.......Bravo Apple!!!!!
There is one image sorting bug I have found in iOS5. If new images are moved into a folder in groups greater than about 200 images, the indexing goes crazy and the sort sequence appears random or somehow interleaved. I have not yet found the exact failure point but moving 125 images works okay, but moving 224 images fails.
Finally, why no image sorting options Apple? Although Pro photographers control image sorting by filename (compliant with DAM standards), a lot of folks in this Forum seem to like date sequencing. Since virtually all photo software offers sorting options, I think iOSx should too.

Confirmed. The sort order for photos has been restored to standard alphanumeric filename sequencing. The iOS4 requirement that EXIF dates be altered to control the sort order of photos has finally been eliminated.

IOS5 has restored over 7000 previously deleted emails to our i-pad. Is there any way of deleting them other than 'edit' and ticking them all off? It'll take days!

iOS5 has restored over 7000 previously deleted emails to our i-pad. At this point, we cannot find a way to mass delete them. Anybody got any ideas?

Problem solved by emptying deleted file on the computer and then deleting and re-installing email accounts on the i-pad.

IPad2 iOS5 random photo sorting bug?

After upgrading my iPad2 to iOS5, the photo sorting in albums appears to be totally randomized which makes it pretty much unusable. Is this a bug? Before the upgrade, it used to be sorted by the time the photo was taken and this was at least better than apparent random sorting. Reverting to the previous sort method would be a good fix. Better would be to have a simple way to control the sort order.

I have lion and all of the latest updates, moved from mobile me to i cloud but my "albulms" on the i pod, i phone and i pad won't stay in the same order that they are in i photo or i tunes. The genius bar at the store went through everything and said that it's an update problem that will have to fix it. I hope they get to work quickly. 2 years ago I was promised by a senior tech that the album sorting problem would be fixed in i photo (about 20% of my albums won't stay sorted by title no matter what I do and about 80% will) and that has never been fixed.
I pray that they read these forums and realize their problems that need to be fixed because it's impossible to go to a saved item on my iphone or ipad without any order to the sorting.

In my opinion, the real solution is for Apple to offer us a choice of the photo sort order in ITunes. My preference would be filename, perhaps with options to choose the Date Taken attribute, file timestamp or date modified filestamp (EXIF date fields as

Not a problem when using iPhoto on a Mac, which the transfer of photos is primarily based on - not manually managing photo storage as seems to be common with Windoze.
The same should be available with a supported photo management app on a PC.

IPhoto Events has restored every photo I have ever deleted. How can I get rid of them?

I have been away from my Mac for 3 weeks and I log into iPhoto today to find that every Event has restored all my previously deleted photos - this means tens of thousands of photos in total and would take weeks to go though and delete again. Is there some way of deleting them? Thanks!

Restore from your back up.

Does iOS 4.2 Fix the Photo Sort Problem?

So far, I'm holding off on the 4.2 update because of the reported WiFi issues. But, can anyone tell me if the Photo App has been fixed to allow downloaded image sorting by filename OR by date?

Excuse me, the information that was loaded from my SD chips, in the first place, was exactly what I needed to tell me which images had been taken on which day. The original useful information has been replaced by useless nonsense, what good is 101IMPRT and 105IMPRT to me, it I know they are imports.
I don't need you telling me after the event and a 10,000Km journey that I need to set up my SD chips in a particular way. That is not helpful. What I had was useful and working fine, the 4.2 update has ruined it! What's worse is that apparently there is no easy fix.

How do I break the loop of restoring photo albums on my iPhone 4S?

Hello one and all,
First of all thank you for reading this, I really hope someone out there can point me in the right direction. I have synced my iPhone in iTunes and all has gone well. HOWEVER when I go to Photos on the phone it shows the camera roll and I get a message saying "Restoring". The phone then begins to build albums I do not have set to synchronise.
Background:
I did have multiple albums set to synchronise in iTunes but I have since switched off the synchronising for photos in iTunes. I got the warning about deleting those photos from my phone and elected to go ahead and delete those photos from the phone. All went without a hitch and iTunes showed the phone as having 51 photos. This tallies with the contents of the camera roll. Perfect.
When I eject my iPhone and enter the Photos option I see my camera roll only. Lovely. After a couple of seconds however I get the message "Restoring" and albums start reappearing. I have tried restarting iTunes and performing a restart of the phone (not just off and on again). I have disconnected the USB cable between the two while restarting. Still I cannot get rid of this fascist restoring process. In the end as a precaution I switched on photo syncing in iTunes and set it to selected folders only. I selected a folder I had just created. A folder with nothing in it. It shows this folder has 0 photos in iTunes. STILL my iPhone is restoring photo albums. I do not want >7000 photos. I want only the 51 you promised.
I don't have photo stream switched on, the phone is set to back up by USB to my MBP only and the iTunes sync shows no problems. My MBP is running the latest iTunes and OSX and my iPhone is on the latest version of iOS. I have searched on the forums and used Google: close threads but nothing addressing this issue. Please, please, please help. I know it is going to be something stupidly simple but can anyone provide a solution?
Yours in desperation,
Andy

I have 2 iPhones (1 personal, 1 business) but use the same Apple ID. I have replaced my personal iPhone but it has restored to my work iPhone. How do I restore it to my personal iPhone settings?

I have 2 iPhones (1 personal, 1 business) but use the same Apple ID. I have replaced my personal iPhone but it has restored to my work iPhone settings (photos/contacts/messages etc.) How do I restore it to my personal iPhone settings?

You're welcome.
First check to be sure the new phone is running the same or higher version of iOS as the one you backed up (Settings>General>About>Version). If it isn't, you'll need to update the iOS first. Then go to Settings>General>Reset, tap Erase All Content and Settings, go through the setup screens on the phone and when given the options, choose Restore from iCloud backup and follow the prompts, choosing the backup of your personal phone to restore to.
Be sure the phone is connected to wifi and your charger while it is restoring the backup.

How do I restore photos to a reformatted iphone?

My 5s has been really buggy lately, apps crash and freeze all the time. Thinking I should reformat and restore to factory settings, but after I do that, how do I restore my photo library to it?

Have you been importing your photos regularly to iPhoto? Do you do backups to iCloud? Do you have Photo Stream?
All or a combination of these things will provide you with a path to restore photos to your device.
We would need to have a better idea of how you are backup up your photos now, and what types of things you would want put back on your device.

There is a problem with the photo with the filename "null". The full resolution version of this photo either cannot be located or is corrupt. Please replace this photo or delete it from your book.

Absolutely INFURIATING.
I have spent absolute hours building a photo album for the first year or my sons life. Sorting through quite literally thousands and thousands of images. Got a brilliant looking album using 177 of them.
Now everytime I try to check out it won't get past page 1 of building the book.
It says the following "There is a problem with the photo with the filename "null". The full resolution version of this photo either cannot be located or is corrupt. Please replace this photo or delete it from your book.".
The images all look perfect. I have even tried taking them out and re adding the first page images from the library.
Same problem.
This is so annoying. So far I have NOT been happy with this iphoto application having nothing but problems with missing thumbnails. Corrupted images. Things that have never happened to me using a windows machine.

Do the filenames contain special characters, like "ä,ü,..." or white space or are the vry long? Is there anything special about the image format? Try to export the edited versions in that case and reimport it with a different, shorter filename.
For testing, create a new book with only the images you want to check.
If this does not fix it, try rebuilding. Depress the option and command keys, launch iPhoto and rebuild the library.

N95 and image gallery sorting by filename, not by ...

Hello!
In N95, the default sorting of images (and photos) is by date-time. This is stupid and useless, because:
- I edit some of my taken photos, so they have different datetime stamps than originals
- I always manualy define the order of photos by putting numbered prefixes in filenames.
The gallery on N95 should be able to sort by filename. I cannot find a "sort by" option. Is there any?
Or did Nokia forget to add such an important option?
Thanks,
Smargroth

So it seems that the only solution is to "touch" files (modify timestamp); in groups, so I can simulate "albums" (all files in one group get the same timestamp). Then the files are sorted by filename.
But this is possible only using microSD card, connected through "Data transfer mode" to PC.
I don't know who programmed this gallery application, but it is really some of the worst programs which I saw. Didn't they ask any user what we want? Yesterday I tried to copy a lot of my journey photos (around 4000) to memory card and what then? Each time when I opened the gallery, photos was processed around 2 minutes before displaying!!! I hate this application. Why does it need to count the photos? And, if it really needs the total number of photos, it can store the number or make some database, which is refreshed on demand, like music list.
And, I don't find any option, to hide some folders from displaying. For example, I have some photos for contacts, and I don't want them to be displayed in gallery. Is this possible?
Because, in my opinion, this gallery application is so bad and useless, I wonder, if there is some (3rd party) gallery application, which works like ACDSee or Irfan or any other normal program?
Thanks,
Sergej

My macbook pro crashed after installing maverick. I lost all my photos however the iPhone iPhoto app still has these photos so how can i access the package contents to recover these photos?

My macbook pro crashed after installing maverick. I lost all my photos however the iPhone iPhoto app still has these photos so how can i access the package contents to recover these photos?

We'll need to know more to beable to help. Do you want to try to restore your photos from your iPhone to your Mac, or try to recover the photos from the old iPhoto Library on your Mac?
What is the situation of your Mac now? In hat way did it crash? A hardware problem with the drive? Does the system not start properly? Does iPhoto not launch? Do you still have the iPhoto Library on your mac or a backup, so we could try to rescue the photos there?
What versions of iPhoto are on your iPhone and your Mac?
however the iPhone iPhoto app still has these photos so how can i access the package contents to recover these photos?
On the iPhone you cannot access the "package contents" - IOS hides the file system from the users. To restore photos from your phone share all iPhoto photos to your Camera Roll, that are not already in the Camera Roll, and then connect the iPhone via USB and import the Camera Roll to iPhoto or Image Capture. Or use any of the other sharing methods described on thos manual page: see: Ways to share photos http://help.apple.com/iphoto/iphone/2.0/?handbuch#blnk7d8f763e
To retrieve photos from a corruptrd iPhoto Library on your Mac we need to know the version number and more about the "crash" you experienced, the state of your mac, the system, the data. Please post back with more details.

Sort by filename?

Hi, I've just started using PSE and I'm in need of a little help. I'm trying to print off over 2000 photos in a certain order, but I've found that there doesn't seem to be any order by filename option? Putting the photo's into filename order is critical, going into folder location does not help and the prospect of sorting >2000 photos into albums doesn't seem like an enticing prospect.
Does the 'Organizer" honestly not have this simple feature? Won't be buying after trial ends if this is the case.

Taking a shot at answering your inquiry. Answer may not be what you want.

I have many picture files scanned & digitized from old slides, and in Windows 7, they show up as depicted in the print screen in Details View. If you right click, it brings up a context menu from which you can rename. This function may be restricted as to numbers that one can rename.

How do i restore photo albums from time machine backups without duplicates?

how do i restore photo albums without duplicates from time machine backups? thx

Worth updating? Totally a personal decision. For some it would be. For others it would not?
Upgrading, if there are no problems, does not affect your data. And since bad things do happen you always have a good backup. Especially when doing any upgrade.
Your password question has nothing to do with iPhoto. Try it in the OS forum

IPhoto is 150 GB but says it has no photos. What to do?

Just Restored a backup from TimeMachine. It is the same size but says it has no photos.
Any ideas what to do? Thanks.

It is the same size but says it has no photos.
Explain a bit more, please. Where does it say "no Photos"? Does iPhoto show "no photos" in the Photos view, when you launch it?
If iPhoto does show no photos after launching, it may have created a new, empty library, instead of using your restored library. Check, which library iPhoto is using. Ctrl-click the the word "iPhoto" in the title bar of the iPhoto application window. It will show you the path to the folder with your current iPhoto library? Is this the same library, as you restored?
If iPhoto is using a new library instead of your restored library there may be a permissions problem or a version mismatch. What is your current iPhoto version and which version of iPhoto created the restored library? What kind of backup did you restore from and how? Where is your restored library located? In the default location, your Pictures" folder or in a different folder on an external drive?
If the library is not in your Pictures folder, launch iPhoto with the alt/options key held down to direct it to your library.
